I am an EECS PhD student at MIT, advised by Erik Demaine in CSAIL and Zach Lieberman at the Media Lab. My research has been generously supported by the the NSERC PGS D and the MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship.

As a researcher and artist, I develop mathematical abstractions and computational tools to support expressivity in art, design, and fabrication.

My research explores new ways to create with computation. At the moment, I am

• designing for reuse in fashion,
• developing shape-changing structures, and
• crafting tools for artists and designers.

Please refer to my Google Scholar for my full publications list. While I author papers, I am excited about alternative research outcomes, such as art, tools, and educational resources.

I am incredibly grateful for my wonderful parents and siblings— Esther, Josh, and Sam—and the cutest of cats, Bit (Bobo) and Byte (Gege).
